One of the most peculiar parts of the COVID-19 propaganda effort saw thousands of nurses dancing in choreographed routines - something that blatantly clashed with one of the other PR-messages, the one of "overwhelmed hospitals".

In March-April 2020, during the first few months of Covid lockdowns, there appeared multiple videos of nurses and hospital staff dancing in synchronized routines on TikTok. Despite the reason given for lockdowns being an "overwhelmed healthcare system and overflowing hospitals", the nurses apparently had time to choreograph complex dance routines.

The dances presumably were either a global PR-stunt to increase "support the health system", but that weren't coordinated with the main message; or spontaneous acts that involuntarily showed the lies of the narrative. [1][2][3]

In December, the nurses were back "dancing to celebrate the arrival of vaccine doses".[4]
